Many have either try or heard about Din Tai Fung restaurant. Din Tai Fung is an award winning restaurant originating from Taiwan. As most of you would know, they specialize mainly in “xiao-long-bao”. This chain of restaurant was once name one of the Top 10 restaurant by The New York Times and currently have presence around the globe (Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Australia, Japan, etc).

The first outlet, situated at The Gardens Mid Valley (2007) and currently have branches in Pavillion KL and Empire Subang. For those who live around PJ, can now head on to the new outlet at e@Curve. :)

As usual, their food quality control is pretty much there. :) Which is what I like about Din Tai Fung. If you have cravings for xiaolongbao, La Mian or even fried rice with pork chop, head on to Din Tai Fung and you won’t be disappointed.

Chynna is always “the” restaurant to go to whenever anyone ask me for Halal Chinese Cuisine. In my opinion, its the restaurant to go to, that is able to serve up authentic Chinese cuisine without any pork in the menu. :) Their Dim Sum remains one of my favourite. :)

Not forgetting the effort that they take, to create the oriental ambience. Its so Oriental you thought you were in like some oriental country, like say, China. :) See for yourself :)

For those who do not fancy any Western cuisine this festive season, head on to Chynna. The festive set menus specially crafted by Chef Lam might be your choice :)

So what better way to enjoy your meal, while bidding farewell to 2011 and welcome a brand new year?

I have personally dine in Senses, KL Hilton a few times and I actually love their food. :) This festive season, Senses via Chef de Cuisine Michael Elfwing has combined creativity while retaining the traditions of classic cuisines. This Christmas, tuck into their specialty menu :)

I have always love my coffee and earlier this week, I manage to check out Cafe Barbera at Sunway Pyramid. :) You might have seen their other outlet(which happens to be the first outlet), at Bangsar (near to Wisma UOA / Maybank) and if you are a frequent traveller (via KLIA) their 2nd outlet is situated right in the airport :)

Barbera Coffee originated in Messinna Italy in 1870. The founder, Domenico Barbera is nicknamed as the Magician for his extraordinary talent in creating great coffee taste and aroma. Upon his death, his son Antonio carried over the family’s legacy and continued to spread the business all over Sicily and Calabria.

Barbera Coffee is more than just coffee. On its own, it creates the harmony of taste and aroma. Its distinct quality is due to meticulous source selection of beans, their roasting and blending art, all carried out within the frame of an advanced research technology; the innovation and the careful processing are the basic to the company. Let’s check out the coffee selection, shall we :)
